Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

"It has been raining for two days straight, and now it has finally cleared up. Why don't you take advantage of the bright sunshine to take out the Schisandra chinensis and Cassia seed and dry them in the sun?"

Liang Qian pulled away the ceramic plate with lotus and fish patterns on the table, and her hand that was grabbing the chestnuts fell empty.

Song Tan withdrew his hand and frowned somewhat unhappily.

"My dear aunt, you have been finding fault with me ever since you came in. I just checked the accounts for the past three months as you requested, and before I even got my seat, you asked me to watch over the drying of medicinal herbs..."

He held his forehead and complained.

But even though he complained, he still stood up, but with a reluctant look on his face.

Before she could take a step, someone came in from the backyard, looked at Song Tan with a smile, and gestured to Liang Qian.

Liang Qian understood after a glance, and turned to scold Song Tan: "See? This is the difference."

Instead, he stuffed the ceramic plate on the small table into Song Mian's arms with a pleasant face.

"This hazelnut is soft, sweet and delicious. Try it."

After saying that, he turned and went to the backyard.

Song Tan put his hands on his hips and kept shouting from behind: "What's the difference? Explain it clearly! I think you just want to get rid of me!"

Liang Qian paused, turned around and glanced at him: "I don't keep idle people here!"

Upon hearing this, Song Tan shouted anxiously, "Idle people? What idle people? Who has been busy all these years? After coming to Luoan, I have been busy even more. I have been working in the pharmacy, the grain store... Which one is missing? Now that you are back, you won't let me take a break? Just tell me, even if I work as a clerk in the shop next door, the shopkeeper won't order me around like this!"

Liang Qian laughed: "The problem is that you are not a buddy!"

After saying that, he walked away without giving him a chance to refute.

Song Mian held back his laughter and looked at Song Tan who was full of complaints, then looked down at the ceramic plate in his arms, and walked after Liang Qian.

The backyard was the medicine warehouse and where the guys lived. Going further in and passing through a half-moon archway, there was a small courtyard where the two brothers lived. There was another small door in the courtyard, which led to a secluded alley. The end of the alley led to the busy street.

There is also a small door diagonally opposite the small door.

Unlike their small families, it was a real mansion with deep courtyards.

It is said to be the former palace of Prince Qi.

After the King of Qi ascended the throne, the house became idle. It was only half a year ago that people were occasionally seen coming in and out, but only a few times.

After a busy morning, Liang Qian returned home through a small door.

The courtyard was very quiet and undisturbed, which was exactly what Liang Qian needed.

She spent nearly half a year compiling the medical records she had seen over the years into a book, and has been finishing the work in the past two days.

When I feel tired, I will take the opportunity to take a break and visit the pharmacy.

The ginkgo tree in the yard is golden, and even if there is no wind, a few leaves will fall from time to time.

Liang Qian was carrying a pile of medical records to the pharmacy. When she passed by the ginkgo tree, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

Maybe it’s because I’m too immersed in it, I always feel that summer has passed by in a flash, and before I know it, it’s autumn.

"Madam," Qingzhu came towards her, "a guest has arrived and is waiting in the medicine room."

As he spoke, he took the medical record from Liang Qian's hand.

Liang Qian shook her head and smiled: "General Xiao again?"

Very few people knew that she was here, besides Chen Dechun and Xiao Qianyi.

But Chen Dechun had just gone on a long journey a month ago, so it couldn't be him.

Qingzhu smiled and said, "No, you will know if you go and take a look."

Liang Qian pursed her lips and couldn't help but stare at her.

This is strange. If it’s not Xiao Qianyi, then who could it be?

Liang Qian knew that Qingzhu was deliberately keeping her in suspense, so she didn't say anything more and went straight to the medicine house.

There is a small lotus pond outside the medicine house, and the remaining space is planted with medicinal herbs.

As soon as she entered the yard, Liang Qian was stunned when she saw two people, one big and one small, standing in front of the fence.

Hearing the footsteps, the two people who were watching the scenery looked over at the same time.

Liang Qian's heart tightened and she didn't know what to say.

"Why do you live here?"

Chun Yubei stood there without moving, while Gao Yang walked forward.

"Everyone says that Lord Zhou has taken you as his concubine, but you have yet to be canonized. That's fine, but why don't you enter the palace and live here without a name or status?"

He frowned and looked at her seriously.

Liang Qian was stunned. She really didn't expect that they would start their reunion with this topic after not seeing each other for a long time.

"I……"

She stood there awkwardly, thinking about how to explain, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Gao Yang looked at her quietly for a while, lowered his eyes and said: "Chun Yubei has already told me some things."

After a pause, he raised his eyes again: "I just want to ask you in person, is what he said true?"

His eyes dimmed and he smiled slightly.

Liang Qian looked past Gao Yang and towards Chun Yu Bei.

What is true?

Did she return to Jinye just to become the empress dowager and use her position to do things?

Did you never think that Da Qi could last long?

Is he deliberately using the throne to cause discord between brothers?

Or is he planning step by step to hand over the kingdom of Da Qi to others?

Liang Qian's throat was dry. She took a deep breath and looked back at Gao Yang seriously: "It's true."

Gao Yang's eyes were red. "Why? Because you only have him in your heart, not my father. You stayed with my father just to help him, right?"

Liang Qian thought about it carefully and said, "Not entirely."

Gao Yang was a little surprised to hear this answer, "I thought you...would deny it."

"Why deny it?"

"But... Chun Yubei said that you wanted to get rid of the bad guys and protect the good guys, and you also wanted to end the war as soon as possible and bring peace to the world."

Liang Qian looked at Chun Yubei, who shrugged and smiled: "I just told him what I know, that's all."

Liang Qian withdrew her gaze and returned to Gao Yang's face: "Do you believe it?"

Gao Yang opened his mouth, turned his head away unnaturally, and just looked at the lotus in the pond not far away. Instead of answering, he asked: "...Is he good to you?"

Liang Qian's heart was soft and sour, and she nodded: "Yeah, very good."

"Okay?" Gao Yang sneered, looking at her with a look of disappointment: "Is it okay to send you away with such a house?"

"No, it's me—"

"You don't need to explain to me. This is your own choice. Whether it's good or bad, just bear with it."

Gao Yang simply turned away and didn't look at her.

Everyone in the world knew that Liang followed Zhou Jun, but after returning to Luoan, no one heard any news from Liang anymore, and no one saw her again, as if she had disappeared out of thin air.

Not to mention Luoan City, even in the whole world, how many people were waiting to see how Liang would use all her tricks to curry favor with the emperor, but in the end, everything was calm and nothing happened, which inevitably disappointed them.

When they heard from the people who had returned with the emperor that Liang's clothes were of all colors and very simple, they became more convinced that the rumors were not true.

At the same time, he also praised the emperor for his wisdom.

From the border of Chen State to Luoan, Gao Yang has heard too many true and false words along the way.

The more Liang Qian looked at Gao Yang's awkward look, the softer her heart felt.

She sighed deeply and reached out to touch Gao Yang's head: "You have grown a lot taller."

Gao Yang blushed, brushed Liang Qian's hand away, and said shyly: "Don't talk to me in that tone, I'm not a child."

"I didn't say that."

Liang Qian looked at his face with a smile, took his hand and went to the medicine house, and asked Qingzhu to get some cakes and fruits.

Qingzhu put down the tea and fruit and left, leaving only the two of them in the medicine room.

Gao Yang sat on a cushion and looked around the medicine room carefully. After a glance, his eyes fell on the piles of medical records on the desk.

He picked up a book and flipped through it: "Is the Zhou Kingdom short of female doctors?"

Liang Qian ignored the sarcasm in his words, smiled slightly, poured a glass of water and handed it to him: "Yeah, you figured this out?"

Gao Yang put down the medical record, lowered his head, did not look at Liang Qian, and did not respond to her words.

Liang Qian stopped laughing and stopped teasing Gao Yang. She just said, "To be honest, there are not many women who are willing to be doctors. During the time I was sorting out medical records, I also thought a lot about this aspect..."

Suddenly remembering something, she stopped and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you want to meet Axin?"

Gao Yang's expression changed slightly, and his eyes flickered.

After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said softly, "It's good that he doesn't know me."

After a moment's silence, he continued, "The reason I came to see you is not because I want to stay in Luoan, but -"

He looked at her and lowered his head again: "I just want to reassure you."

Liang Qian's gaze stopped on Gao Yang's head, with a sour look in her eyes.

Gao Yang lowered his head and whispered, "You told me that even if I am not the emperor, not the Prince of Guangning, I am still Gao Yang, and I am still myself.

After leaving Jinye, I traveled to many places and many things happened during that time. I know that if it weren't for your protection, I would have died long ago.

But I can’t live under someone’s wings forever. Only when I grow up to be a real man can I protect myself and the people I care about.”

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at her, his dark eyes covered with a layer of moisture.

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

"I know you're worried about me, but in this world, no one can always be with anyone else. There are some roads that I have to walk on my own."

Liang Qian wanted to laugh, but couldn't. Her eyes were wet and her throat was tight. "Okay, I get it."

Gao Yang didn't stay long.

In the narrow alley, a carriage could barely stop.

Liang Qian stood at the door, looking at the people getting on the carriage.

Gao Yang paused as he lifted the curtain and turned back: "I'm leaving."

Liang Qian didn't say anything extra, just looked at him and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."

The man who was about to get into the carriage suddenly turned back, and like that winter day, threw himself into her arms and held her tightly with both hands.

He buried his head and choked up softly, "I do blame you now, and I'm still angry with you. I can't forgive you right away, but...but I still miss you very much."

Liang Qian's tears overflowed.

She closed her eyes and patted Gao Yang's back gently: "I know."

Gao Yang raised his head, his eyes red and wet: "Back then, you were not kind to me because you lost your daughter, right?"

Liang Huan nodded: "Yes."

Gao Yang smiled and wiped her tears: "Don't cry, you're ugly."

Liang Qian took a breath and smiled: "Okay."

Gao Yang was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't feel like you owe me anything. You don't owe me anything... Also, don't live here anymore. You don't need to worry about anything."

Liang Qian was startled and nodded: "...Okay."

"Don't forget what you promised me."

"I didn't forget."

"Once a word is spoken, it is as good as gold and jade."

"Well, gold and jade are immovable."

Gao Yang smiled and hugged her again, but his tears flowed even more violently.

*

When the sun sets, its afterglow shines into the medicine hut, making even the dust particles in the air clearly visible.

The medicine room was so quiet that not a sound could be heard. Liang Qian sat there for most of the day.

Only after she finished writing the last stroke did she put down her pen and stand up.

After working day and night for several days, I finally completed it.

Liang Qian looked at the wet ink on the pages and let out a long breath.

I reached out to grab the cup, but when I held the icy cold cup in my palm, I realized that the tea inside had already gone cold.

Just as I was about to get up and cook something hot, someone walked in.

The person who came was standing with his back to the light, his face was unclear, but his whole body was shining.

Liang Qian narrowed her eyes and looked over.

Before he could open his mouth, a cold voice rang out.

"I've been hiding here for a few days. If I don't come back, I'm afraid you won't even recognize who I am."

Yuwen Jue had a blank expression on his face, but Liang Qian could tell at a glance that he was angry.

She put down the teacup and smiled awkwardly: "No, I just finished my work. You know the teacher is not here, and I can't handle it alone."

Yuwen Jue snorted, and when he saw Liang Qian picking up the kettle and about to leave, he grabbed her wrist.

Liang Qian looked at him in surprise: "What are you doing? I'm going to make tea."

Yuwen Jue's expression remained unchanged. He took the porcelain pot from her hand and put it on the table: "You don't have to bother me, Qing. I came here specially to take you back."

"go back?"

"Yes, let's go back." Yuwen Jue glanced at her and pulled her out. "If you stay out for too long, people will find you. Let's go."

Yuwen Jue said it so lightly that Liang Qian didn't even have time to close the page of the book with dried ink.

She looked back at the piles of medical records and said anxiously, "My——"

Yuwen Jue looked cold and smiled: "Don't worry, I will ask them to send them to the palace."

Without another word, he took her hand and ran straight to the front yard.

As I stepped over the threshold, there was a carriage waiting on the road.

There weren't many people passing by, but this mansion had been uninhabited for a long time. When one suddenly saw someone coming out of the door, one couldn't help but stop to take a closer look out of curiosity.

Liang Qian was secretly frightened, fearing that Yuwen Jue would be recognized. She pulled his sleeve and lowered her voice, anxiously asking, "How can you go through the main entrance?"

Not to mention that Yuwen Jue had left the palace to look for her in the past, even she herself had always gone in and out through the small door.

But today he is so careless.

"Why do I have to be so sneaky when I come to find my wife and bring her home?"

Yuwen Jue hummed softly, put his arm around her waist, and carried her directly into the carriage.

As soon as Liang Qian got into the carriage, the carriage started moving.

She looked at the man with a sullen face and was about to speak, but she saw Yuwen Jue take out a basket from somewhere, put it on a small table, and then opened the lid and took out plates of dried fruits: hazelnuts, chestnuts, peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts...

The most surprising thing is that they have all been peeled.

"Eat."

After saying this, he remained silent.

Liang Qian poked the stern-faced man with her finger and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth: "Are you really angry?"

"Hmm." Yuwen Jue responded vaguely, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Liang Qian leaned forward and looked at him with a smile: "If you were really angry, you would not give me these to eat, but poison."

Yuwen Jue frowned: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Yes, yes, I spoke without thinking." Liang Qian corrected her mistake and explained in a good-tempered manner: "It was I who proposed to organize the medical records, which was actually a good thing. Besides, most of it had been completed before the teacher left, and there was not much left. At first, I was not in a hurry, but-"

She looked at his face and said, "I thought that if I could concentrate on the next few days, this matter would be over, and then I could--"

Before she could finish her words, Yuwen Jue leaned forward, folded his arms, and hugged her tightly, his eyes full of tenderness: "I know."

Liang Qian frowned: "You know?"

Yuwen Jue rested his chin on the crook of her neck and smiled softly, "Yes."

Liang Qian became more and more confused: "Are you sure we are talking about the same thing?"

Yuwen Jue turned his face and kissed her hair: "You have been hiding from me for a few days, and you are so anxious to sort out the medical records, how could I not know?"

Liang Qian was stunned and tilted her head to look at him, half believing and half doubting.

Yuwen Jue didn't say much. He smiled and took a small plate of pine nuts and stuffed it into her hand: "Eat it."

Liang Qian held the small plate in her hand and stared at him suspiciously.

Yuwen Jue simply picked up a few pine nuts and fed them to her: "From now on, don't hide it from me anymore."

"In the future?" Liang Qian choked and glared at him unhappily, "There is no future."

I'll post this much today~

I'll take a look at the rest.
